Denied Breaks, U.S. Poultry Workers Wear Diapers on the Job

`They are in danger of serious health problems,’ report says

Tyson says it doesn’t tolerate refusal of restroom requests

Workers in plants run by the largest U.S. poultry producers are regularly being denied bathroom breaks and as a result some are reduced to wearing diapers while working on the processing line, Oxfam America said in a report Wednesday.

“It’s not just their dignity that suffers: they are in danger of serious health problems,” said Oxfam America, the U.S. arm of the U.K.-based global development group. The group works for a “just world without poverty” and focuses on topics ranging from refugees in Greece to malnutrition. Source
